What is a Unix Timestamp?
A Unix timestamp is the number of seconds that have elapsed since the Unix epoch (January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC). It's a simple way to represent time as a single number.
Formats
- ✅ Seconds: 10 digits (e.g., 1704067200)
- ✅ Milliseconds: 13 digits (e.g., 1704067200000)
- ✅ ISO 8601: 2024-01-01T00:00:00Z
Common Uses
- ✅ Database date storage
- ✅ API timestamps
- ✅ Log file timestamps
- ✅ Session expiration
- ✅ File modification times
- ✅ Event scheduling
Tip: Most programming languages work with Unix timestamps in seconds, but JavaScript uses milliseconds.
